In today's episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with the incredible Dana Donofree, founder of AnaOno, a revolutionary lingerie brand that celebrates and empowers individuals affected by breast cancer. Dana shares her inspiring journey of self-love and body acceptance during her cancer treatment, and how it led her to create a brand that goes beyond bras. We dive deep into the importance of open conversations about body image, intimacy, and self-care related to cancer and breast health. From exploring the concept of responsive sexual desire to breaking free from the limitations imposed by illness, Dana's story is one of resilience, creativity, and making a difference. Get ready to be inspired and join us on a transformative journey as we delve into the world of self-discovery and personal connection!

In this episode, Kathy and Dana Donofree discuss:

• Importance of trauma and post-traumatic growth
• The five elements of resilience: personal strength, gratitude, optimism, spirituality, and support/relationships
• The Importance of addressing these elements in healing from trauma
• Utilizing existing strengths in engaging in the work of healing
• Dismissing the need to address trauma if certain qualities are present (e.g., optimism, strength)
• Desire to help individuals use their strengths to navigate and heal from trauma

If Dana was crushed up and put into pill form, what effect would she want to have on someone?
